Administrator Guide
Parameter Description
After the administrator congures the CMOS on a template unit, the
administrator should sign on to "cmos" account on ThinOS Lite to get the
CMOS content saved to the cmos le on writable File Server xen
directory.
Then the xen.ini must be congured with "Device=CMOS action=restore",
so all target units will get updated with the same CMOS setting as
template unit after reboot.
Once the restore action is nished, both "Device=cmos Action=extract"
and "Device=CMOS action=restore" must be removed from the related
INI les.
The usage of other settings is self-explanatory. If the BIOS GUI has
respective feature settings, then user can use these INI parameters to
congure those settings.
